Report: Popular show Ted Lasso close to greenlight for Season 4 on Apple TV

Ted Lasso fans can rejoice, as it appears increasingly likely the show will return for a fourth season on Apple TV, according to a report.Warner Bros. Television, who produces the show, picked the options for three leading cast members: Hannah Waddingham, (AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (the fiery Roy Kent), and Jeremy Swift (director of football operations Leslie Higgins).The report also suggests that the move wouldn’t happen without assurances that Jason Sudeikis, who plays the title character and co-created the show, and fellow co-creator Brendan Hunt (coach Beard) would return.Deadline <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/08/ted-lasso-season-4-deal-near-brett-goldstein-hannah-waddingham-1236049653/" target="_self">broke the news</a> of Ted Lasso nearing a greenlight for Season 4.

WHAT HAPPENED?

While many of the core cast will likely return, there are question marks about some of the bigger characters.Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tart, has not been picked up according to the report, due to the fact that he's tied to two shows in Prime Video’s The Devil’s Hour and Apple’s Surface.It's unclear which other stars might be considered for Season 4. The cast has repeatedly shown enthusiasm for returning to their roles, and many would likely make guest appearances if the opportunity arises.On a positive note, it appears likely Juno Temple will return as Keeley Jones.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
